Improve operating efficiency - prevent premature damage and blade failures in
utility combustion turbines
Combustion turbine blade temperature analysis can provide a gas turbine operator with a large
amount of information about the blades themselves.
This information can prove invaluable when
refining maintenance procedures and detecting potentially serious problems - thus reducing overall
operating costs and increasing efficiency.
Turbine Sentry - System Overview
An overview of the complete system and how this system is of benefit to gas turbine operators.
A typical system comprises three parts:
Blade Sentry - Measurement Pyrometer
The non-contact thermometer is mounted through the gas turbine casing and measures the temperatures of individual rotor blades.
Rotor Sentry - Data Acquisition System
The DAS logs individual blade temperature readings taken by the measurement pyrometers,
samples and processes the data for use by the data analysis software, Data Sentry.
Data Sentry - Data Analysis Software
This powerful pc-based software utility has all the tools and functions necessary to obtain a complete picture of how efficiently the gas turbine is running, as well as identifying potential problems at an early stage.
